I came across mention of IMAPSync and Larch as tools to move emails out of Gmail to a new email account. Does anyone have any experience using these?
I have a family’s worth of email gmail accounts all of which are running out of space and will need to be moved to a new email provider. They would of course all like to keep their historical sent and recieved emails.
You must log in or # to comment.
Imapsync works well, have uses it hundreds of times on massive accounts. Not with Gmail specifically though. I’d imagine you would lose labels.
Cheers. Im going to have a go at that. Ive tried Google…Takeout which got me emails into Firefox but family are demanding and want them in IMAP. Honestly im worried about how many GBs of Storage I am going to have ( And have to backup)
GYB is very powerful and flexible, and I’ve used it to manipulate Gmail accounts in the hundreds of gigabytes.
The community is decently supportive, but of course it is a command line tool so some familiarity with the shell is useful.
Cheers I guess #gmail will always be around but I just don’t want to have the family start paying if we can move emails to storage and maybe slowly transition away.
Bitten is my tool of choice.
I use infomaniak email with a custom domain. Is around 2 USD per user with unlimited storage. The web UI has an email import tool that works with Gmail. You get a manager UI to manage accounts and settings (sometimes a bit confusing, but works).
After checking many providers, this was the best alternative for me. I hope that helps.
Ah cheers yeah may consider but goot.at least 10 gmail accounts amd counting to deal with.
Use skykick its like 12 bucks per mailbox. They have live support so they will even help you setup the migration.
skykick
Wtf is this? Their website is awful.
$12 per mailbox is a crazy high price.
Cool. I think Im looking at about 10 mailboxes so far.
